Mastering Question

I use fabfilter Pro-L to limit my tracks at the mastering stage.
The question would be:
Is there any way to get rid of inter sample peaks except for turning down the gain?
Or is there any way to prevent my tracks from inter sample peaking?

aslong as it sounds like...woooooowwwww omg omg OMG O MY F'ING GOD this sounds greaaaat!

so good a sound that it buys its way in to your dreams

then who cares


But in a world of what does care , what about your mix? how are the peaks there? are things compressed right? is there saturation on things that """JUMP OUTTT""" etc etc...

just enjoy your mix and enjoy mixing to the best you can man.

leav the mastering to the equips wiser god with fresh ears


people in bands dont even mix let alone attempt to master their own tunes without sum hardcore analog and some nice chain.

al i can say is make great tunes and mix is the best u can.. dont settle for mud and think mastering is the key...

then again i could b wrong..

You need a limiter that can predict ISPs and compensate for them. I don't know if Pro-L can do this; I use the Oxford limiter.           Mastering - http://mastering.OOOD.net :: www.is.gd/mastering

Turn on the oversampling! I usually use Elephant with 4x OS if it's a 44.1 or 48 kHz file, and rarely any probs with ISPs.

The most sensitive ISP meters I have found are RME Digicheck (realtime), or RX3 (offline).           http://hermetechmastering.com : http://www.discogs.com/artist/Gregg+Janman : http://soundcloud.com/babaluma

i find that often isp like on oxford or ozone or using oversampling (maybe that what all does? dunno) is not as transparent as leaving the isp , best solution for would be not as loud, leave a little headroom to minimize isp.

I've A/B tested OS on/off with Elephant hundreds of times, and it's transparent to me, so I always have it on with single rates (44.1 or 48Khz). I used to think it changed things a bit in the high end (as I'd read many people claim that), but when I blind A/Bed I really couldn't tell the difference, so it was probably just bias.

For double/quadruple rate (88.2 and above etc.) it's not always necessary.           http://hermetechmastering.com : http://www.discogs.com/artist/Gregg+Janman : http://soundcloud.com/babaluma

did some test long ago with elephant oversampling now their up/downsampling is probably a lot better.

how do you like the new version btw ?

Love it! New EL-4 algorithm is the most transparent yet, and the EVAL switch allows automatic volume matched A/Bs in combination with the BYPASS.           http://hermetechmastering.com : http://www.discogs.com/artist/Gregg+Janman : http://soundcloud.com/babaluma
